Appearances.

Jenny Mist was an English rustic
whose peculiarities were sufficiently
marked to furnish amusement for all the
coarse wits of the period. One day he
was invited to dine at the house of a lord,
whose nephew was also visiting him.
This young man speedily conceived the
idea of amusing himself at Jemmy's eN-
pense. One day, at a meet for the hunt,
he said to a fellow guest
"Let's quiz the old fellow"
SPY all means said the other; ''but
take care that you do not get the worst
of it."
When Jenny came up the young dan,
DIV bowed to his saddle, and said,-
II wish you a good-mornins, Joseph
Ny name isn't Joseph" said the rustic.

From, Lookout Mountain.

From the summit of Missionary Ridge
but still better on Lookout, from
eight to ten hundred feet higher-all
of these battle-felds are spread out like
a great map around you. Without ex-
aggeration the views are superb and
cbarmingly beautiful, even to eyes famil-
lar with the wondrous beauty Of the
Alps and our own "Rockies" and Sierra
Nevada. Beyond doubt, the eye from
Lookout Point has an extensive view in
four states, not only in Georgia, Tennes-
see, and Alabama, but in North Caro-
lima. Some think the distant mountains
in South Carolina can also be seen from
Lookout. But this is doubtful, and
seem as yet improved, for the nearest
part of that state is at least one hundred
and thirty miles distant. If any part of
South Carolina is visible, it must be
only some of its highest mountain peaks.
AS one stands on the commanding
summit of Lookout Mountain in these
days of piping peace, when the pen in
its literary achievements has SO uni
versally taken the place of the sword,
it is a pleasing reflection, as the eye of
body and mind drinks in this vast AID
enchanting array of valley, river and
mountain, that one is taking in at a
glance all that district, not only once
made familiar by the thrilling incidents
of our gigantic war, but now clothed
with new interest and rendered classic
among southern scenes by the facile,
charming style of ''Craddock," as the
region of "Lost Geek" of "Sunset
Rock,n of 'Chilhowee," and of 1.-THE
Prophet of the Great Smoky Mounts Int
Imagine then, how grand and thrilling
was the sight under that MONDAY II in
November, 1858! There was Grants
army, formed and forming in battle
array, at least eighty thousand men in
the valley below, in full view of some
forty thousand more, browning the crest
of that long ridge, which towers from
four to six hundred feet above the
Federal line. It was a most uncommon
sight even to veteran soldiers of u civil
war-those brigades and batteries, with
glittering rifles and FURNISHED cannon,

Condiments.

While condiments are of very little
benefit as articles of food, yet they play
an important part in stimulating diges-
ton, and as factors in producing nerve
force.
The principal condiments are pepper,
cayenne, mustard, horscradish and vine
gar; and should be used with discretion.
Their constant use causes debility in GER
tain SIS tcs: but when moderately used,
the d st ubancc produced is not worth
considering, especially when compared
with the benefits which follow.
Condiments are of great benefit in aid
ing the digestion of substances which
wOnld otherwise be slowly acted upon by
the digestive organs. Their action in
creascs the amount of saliva secrcted;
and in many cases where the appetite is
deficient they arous it, and cause the
patient to eat more than he otherwise
would.
Condiments, are very seldom given
proper attention in the sick room. The
patient is usually allowed to use them
without stint, whereas much benefit
may be obtained by their judicious use.
In many cases Of diarrhea, black pep
per, cayenne or mustard can be taken IN
unusual quantities with great bs~DlaE
Black pepper is Il we'll known remedy In

"Not so long as that, 1 hope, dear.
But you mustn't talk. Try and sleep.
"You must be tired out watching over

"a little tired, but l am so thankful
the danger is past"
"You just wait until l get out again,
and if l don't surprise you with some

the doctor, too. He is a wonderful man,

Possibly, dear; but don't worry about
such matters. Let your mind rest"
"What does the doctor say about mt

"Doing splendidly! Does he call it do

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Time is the old justice that examines
old offenders.
He is a only well made man who has a
good determination.
None but the contemplate are appre-
hensible OF contempt.
Manner is one of the greatest engines
of influence ever given to man.
Scientific scrutiny may take things to
pieces, but it can't put them together
again.
He who is most slow in making a
promise is the most faithful in the per-
Torrance of it.
Nature has given us two ears and but
one tongue, in order that we may repeat
but one-half we hear.
Children are travellers newly arrived in
a strange country we should therefore
make conscious not to mislead them.
A good book is commendable for two
reasons, because of the thoughts which
it contains, and because of the thoughts
which it ,suggests.
No mans life is free from struggles
and notifications, not ever the happiest,
but every one may build up his W hap
piness by seeking mental pleasure.
There are treasures laid up in the
heart, treasures of charity, piety, tenn
perance and soberness. These treasures
a man takes with him beyond death
when he leaves this world.
One of the commonest of illusions is to
imagine that the present hour is not the
critical decisive hour. Write it on your
heart that every day is the best day in
the year.

Eugenle,s JeweIed wreath.

A story is published in London to the
effect that there is a splendid jeweled
wreath now in possession of a New York
ieweler which once belonged othe Prin-
cess Eugene. It appears that the wreath
was ordered from a Paris jeweler by the
Empress a few days before the battle of
Sedan. The Empress took it with her
20 Chiselhurst, but after the death Of
the Prince Imperial in Zululand she re-
urned it to the jeweler, receiving from
him the price which she had paid for 1t,
namely, 1000, 900 francs, o $500, 600.
It was afterward purchased as a souvenir
uy a Bonapartist, who however, resold
il to the New York jeweler. The wreath
contains 2, 900 brilliants, all finely cut
md mounted in old silver lined with
rold. The central brilliant, which is
yet in a bouquet of %violets, weighs fifteen
:arats. The other stones weigh from,
one to eight carata, and are environed

CoM,,E Martial.

sIt is a startling fact, shown up by
reliable figures" said an ormy officer,
sthat SO per cent. of the soldiers in this
department were, during the past year,
tried by court martial. Most OF them,
of course, were tried for petty offences,
such as drunkenness, being Off duty
without leave of absence. This IS q pit
iful showing, and at the same time its
truth cannot be disputed. 1t proves
that there is something radically
wrong with the present system OF court
martial. As the thing is now, If a SOL
der goes off or becomes intoxicated, ne

and throws the work on the men that
behave themselves. This ~disconrages

A Long Lease.

Carlyle used to tell an amusing story
in illustration of the anxiety of Scotch
men to build on ground which they
owned rather than on that leased for a
term of years, no matter how long the
lease might run. Once a year an old
tailor came to his parents house for a
shilling a day and his vituals, in order to
"make down. the fathers clothes into
new suits for the boz. AS the house was
badly lighted, the tailor brought with
HIM a round sod of turf, as large as the
top of a small table. Placing it on the
floor, he stuck into it a stick, with a slit
split on the tops which held a candle
like a vice, and sitting by it on the floor.
worked from morning to night, barring
meal times.
The %tailor's ambition to purchase the
house in which he lived made him in
dustrious and saving. But the owner of
the house wanted a high price for it,
and so the negotiations went on for four
years. At length the two contracting
parties held a meeting, at which each
was represented by a lawyer. A draft
deed was produced, and the house own
er's lawyer began to read aloud,-
II, John So-and SO, hereby agree to
let, lease, ETC., for 600 years"
whats that you said about letting
and lcasingH struck in the tailor. 81
tell ye FL hae n%aeting adae wi the tran
saction AVA, unless | can buy the house
out and out to a cte1nity!'
''Well, now," said the lawyer, Wlnklng
at the tailor's lawyer, suppose we add IL
8 figure to it, and then see how it reads:
4 john, hereby let, lease, etc., 1or
9990 years.
But even for that term it was only afte1
much persuasion that they secured the
tailor's acceptance Of the deed.

At the BARRIERS.

have his hair plows ground. While |
was gossiping with the barber, a MAJ
about my own age came i'll and threw
himself carclessly INTO a chair, and called
for a shave. After he got his shave the
barber, as usual, began to badger the
customer about ''seafoams, :" ''shampoos. y
and other nick-nacks that go to mans
discomfort and BIZ rbers' profits. The
old chap withstood the siege bravely.
